to my Grandparents! They celebrated their 51st wedding anniversary this past weekend. I will be seeing them tomorrow for Thanksgiving, so I finally made them a card to give to them. I actually made 2 cards, one from me and one from the rest of my family.

My first card uses SC204 on Splitcoast and features the stamp set "One of a Kind" as well as Bella Rose dp. I stamped and cut out the main flower twice, and layered some pieces together to get this flower. I put a felt flower and a filigree flower and rhinestone brad on top to finish it off.

This next card is the one that I chose to be from me, because I secretly like it better! I used Afternoon Tea dp, which features some of last year's in-colors. The stamp set is Eastern Blooms. I stamped the branch with leaves in versamark and then embossed it with clear embossing powder. I stamped the flowers and cut them out and layered them over the branch. In the middle of each flower is a clear bauble. The sentiment is a Hero Arts stamp.
